Generally I work as far West =3Bas W9/= W5 during my late evening early morning time =3Band then as time progre= sses towards =3Bpre sunrise I hear/QSO the extreme West towards the Pac= ific coast areas.
This has been over the years on 160 metres= and there are similarities with 500 khz and to some extent 137 Khz<= /DIV>
